I'm Seeing Green

I was feeling a bit envious of everyone traipsing off to the Festival of Quilts, but then my darling friend Moira {Mrs Kettleboiler} sent me a share of her haul. I am bowled over by her kindness

Dandelions. Aren't they just THE best. I can see these as fussy cut centres of my next blocks.

Anyway, I digress... back to the whole seeing green thing...

I signed up for another secret swap. I think I'm addicted to swaps. They seem to get my creative juices flowing; make me try something new and different and entice me with all the suspense of trying to suss out who is making what for me in return.

This one is called the Pretty {little} Pouch Swap Round 5 and IT is the reason I am seeing green...

here is what I have done so far...

String pieced, needle-turn freestyle leaf applique

Tiny paper pieced 9 patch

String pieced, needle-turn style freestyle leaf applique

I have spent all day on these tiny little details but I think that they fit my partner's brief pretty well, so I hope that she likes them.

A question for you

When I was sewing today, I used a lovely Olive Green thread and I realised that its probably my favourite colour thread.
